As far as I know, these libraries are only needed if you link openssl
statically, otherwise the DLL links to them and curl doesn't need to know
about it.

The impact shouldn't be that big - if the libraries aren't available on
the system, a DLL build wouldn't run either, so they essentially doesn't
add any extra dependency.
